Attorney General, Pamela Bondi, said, the “DOJ will have no choice but to increase efforts in the city of Boston” after “Mayor Wu’s decision to side with public safety threats over law-abiding citizens”.
This is coming after the shooting which happened in Back Bay neighbourhood, Boston, Massachusetts.

Wu fires back at criticism for comments after Back Bay shooting
Mayor Wu fired back at Rep. Nicholas Langworthy’s comments implying that she had more sympathy for criminals than for law enforcement trying to keep communities safe.
“Congressman check your facts, check your facts, watch the video. I did not express sympathy for that individual but for their family. And any individual whose life is lost is a tragedy,” Wu said, interrupting Langworthy before he asked a question.
Langworthy, a Republican from New York, was referring to Wu expressing her condolences to the family of a man who was shot and killed by an off-duty officer at a Back Bay Chick-fil-A location. That man, according to Boston police, was attacking two other people with a knife.
AG Bondi said: “I’d like to extend my condolences to the good people of Boston.
“Mayor Wu’s actions are callous and an insult to law enforcement across America.As a result of the Mayor’s decision to side with public safety threats over law-abiding citizens, DOJ will have no choice but to increase efforts in the city of Boston. Criminals will be prosecuted, illegal aliens will be arrested, and justice will be served.”
